Critics raved over its use of harmonica and guitar, with Billboard describing it as \u201ca beautiful, heart-wrenching song featuring vocals from Buster Moe alongside a knee-slapping beat and tons of harmonica.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nineteen year old Matthias Oldofredi, better known by his alter ego, filous, is considered one of the fastest rising stars in electronic music and was named in Spotify\u2019s \u201cSpotlight on Artists 2016.\u201d He began to deconstruct tracks from his favourite independent artists and flips them into alternately exuberant and wistful dance remixes. Dabbling with every instrument that intrigues him and mastering it, filous evolved from a naturally gifted instrumentalist to precocious beat-maker artist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His debut EP, &#8216;Dawn&#8217;, is distinguished by his focus on rhythm and motion. The lead single &#8216;How Hard I Try&#8217;, has already amassed over 50 million streams on Spotify and over nine million streams on Soundcloud. As an artist, filous has over 220 million combined plays across YouTube, Soundcloud, and Spotify.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more information on filous, please visit\u00a0him on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/filousxvie\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/filous\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/filousmusic\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/filous\" target=\"_blank\">Soundcloud<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/2IjiuEObrCKyZvSb8xLxG9\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/filousmusic.com\" target=\"_blank\">official website<\/a>.
